Medicine: A Little Learning

About half of U.S. college students believe that whisky will "kill" a
fever, and one-third think that an expectant mother can cultivate
musical talent in her unborn child by listening to symphonies. One
student in three believes that chiropractors are just as competent as
physicians, and a smaller group thinks that fish is a "brain food." So
says New York University's Dr. H. Frederick Kilander, author of the
standard Kilander Health Knowledge Tests, who has been charting the
progress of general health education in the U.S. since 1936.
